Product Description
Review
Adored by millions of consumers, countlee produces worldwide ahve adopted organic as a successfull stratagy, and most posh restaurants ahve jumped on the organic bandwagon with it's reputation for being generally "Better". But better for whom, the fledgling organic produce will sometimes ask, trying to navigate the complexiites and pitfalls of creating an establishment that produces certifiably organic foodstuffs. This book is American, so beware of potential irregularities between US and UK legislation, but this does allow for quite an interesting insight into the organic revolution in the States - where else could a population the worships Big Mac also embrace a concept so entirely opposite? Author Peter Vossel is of the determined opinion that organic is best, which some might find hard to swallow, but he knows his subject, and picking and choosing those parts that are relevant to the reader should provide a decent blueprint about how to set up a small organic farm. Vossel gives tips, illustrated with his own experience, on everythign to do with organic farming, form identifying suitable land, avoiding debt, identifying soil type suitablity for diffrent crops throguh to making compost, getting the best out of your greenhouse, controlling bugs and pests successfully selling at farmers amrkets. The book inc ludes chapters on organic vegetables, livestock, and flowers, and concludes with a selection of mouth-watering recipies to get you motivated. This is not an A-Z guidebook on organic farming but should provide a useful overview for the beginner or potential organic producer. --Farmers Guardian
